Description

自行車盤式制動器卡鉗 Bicycle disc brake caliper

本發明相關於自行車盤式制動器卡鉗。 The invention relates to bicycle disc brake calipers.

近年來,一些高性能的自行車已包含液壓盤式制動器系統。液壓盤式制動器系統典型上包含盤式制動器卡鉗及制動桿件。在從制動桿件將流體壓力施加於盤式制動器卡鉗的第一及第二活塞時,盤式制動器的制動墊片會與轉子接觸,因而施加摩擦阻力及使自行車減慢或停止。 In recent years, some high performance bicycles have included hydraulic disc brake systems. Hydraulic disc brake systems typically include disc brake calipers and brake lever members. When fluid pressure is applied to the first and second pistons of the disc brake caliper from the brake lever member, the brake pads of the disc brake come into contact with the rotor, thereby applying frictional resistance and slowing or stopping the bicycle.

盤式制動器卡鉗與制動桿件經由流體導管而互相流體連通。流體導管經由在盤式制動器卡鉗上的第一流體通口而連接於盤式制動器卡鉗。盤式制動器卡鉗上也設置有第二流體通口以使制動器可被洩放(bleed)。 The disc brake calipers and brake lever members are in fluid communication with each other via a fluid conduit. The fluid conduit is coupled to the disc brake caliper via a first fluid port on the disc brake caliper. A second fluid port is also provided on the disc brake caliper to allow the brake to be bleed.

習知的盤式制動器卡鉗將第一流體通口及第二流體通口相對於轉子定位在卡鉗主體的相反兩側。此使流體流動路徑可被簡單地排定路線且在盤式制動器卡鉗本身內具有短的流體流動路徑長度。流體流動路徑是從盤式 制動器卡鉗的第一側進入,與在第一側的第一活塞連通,然後行進至另一側且與在另一側的第二活塞連通,並且在管線的洩放期間經由在盤式制動器卡鉗的另一側的第二流體通口出口。 Conventional disc brake calipers position the first fluid port and the second fluid port relative to the rotor on opposite sides of the caliper body. This allows the fluid flow path to be simply routed and has a short fluid flow path length within the disc brake caliper itself. Fluid flow path is from disc The first side of the brake caliper enters, communicates with the first piston on the first side, then travels to the other side and communicates with the second piston on the other side, and via the caliper in the disc brake during venting of the line The second fluid port outlet on the other side.

但是,在習知的盤式制動器卡鉗中,由於第一及第二流體通口的相反配置,因此難以減小盤式制動器卡鉗於自行車的橫向方向的體積。 However, in the conventional disc brake caliper, it is difficult to reduce the volume of the disc brake caliper in the lateral direction of the bicycle due to the reverse arrangement of the first and second fluid ports.

以下參考所附的圖式敘述本發明的選擇的實施例。對於熟習此項技術者而言從此揭示很明顯,以下的本發明的實施例的敘述只是被提供來舉例說明,而非要限制由附隨的申請專利範圍請求項及其等效物所界定的本發 明。 Selected embodiments of the invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is apparent to those skilled in the art that the following description of the embodiments of the present invention is provided by way of illustration and not limitation This hair Bright.

首先參考圖1,自行車1包含車架1A、及一對根據一個例示性實施例的盤式制動器卡鉗10,用來抓緊相應的盤式轉子2。前盤式制動器卡鉗10A被附接於車架1A的前叉架,以抓緊前車輪4A的盤式轉子2A而對前車輪4A施加止動力。後盤式制動器卡鉗10B被附接於車架1A的鏈撐(chain stay)或座撐(seat stay),以抓緊後車輪4B的盤式轉子2B而對後車輪4B施加止動力。一對每一個包含各別的手指致動的桿件總成的制動操作裝置6被較佳地耦接於自行車1的車把8。該對制動操作裝置6藉著液壓管線9而被分別連接於盤式制動器卡鉗10。藉著抓握桿件總成來致動制動操作裝置6會使流體例如礦物油(mineral oil)從相關聯的主缸筒排出,行進通過液壓管線9而至盤式制動器卡鉗10的每一個。在流體行進至盤式制動器卡鉗10內時,流體迫使被容納於盤式制動器卡鉗10內的活塞夾緊前及後盤式轉子2A及2B,因而分別對前及後車輪4A及4B施加止動力。因為該對盤式制動器卡鉗10具有實質上相同的構造,所以為簡潔起見盤式制動器卡鉗10中只有一個在下文被詳細地舉例說明。 Referring first to Figure 1, a bicycle 1 includes a frame 1A, and a pair of disc brake calipers 10 according to an exemplary embodiment for grasping the corresponding disc rotor 2. The front disc brake caliper 10A is attached to the front fork of the frame 1A to grasp the disc rotor 2A of the front wheel 4A to apply a stopping force to the front wheel 4A. The rear disc brake caliper 10B is attached to a chain stay or a seat stay of the frame 1A to grasp the disc rotor 2B of the rear wheel 4B and apply a stopping force to the rear wheel 4B. A pair of brake operating devices 6 each including a respective finger actuated lever assembly are preferably coupled to the handlebar 8 of the bicycle 1. The pair of brake operating devices 6 are respectively coupled to the disc brake caliper 10 by hydraulic lines 9. Actuating the brake operating device 6 by grasping the lever assembly causes fluid, such as mineral oil, to be expelled from the associated master cylinder, traveling through the hydraulic line 9 to each of the disc brake calipers 10. As the fluid travels into the disc brake caliper 10, the fluid forces the pistons contained within the disc brake caliper 10 to clamp the front and rear disc rotors 2A and 2B, thereby applying a detent to the front and rear wheels 4A and 4B, respectively. . Since the pair of disc brake calipers 10 have substantially the same configuration, only one of the disc brake calipers 10 is exemplified in detail for the sake of brevity.

如圖2及3所示,盤式制動器卡鉗10包含主體12,此主體12較佳地由剛性金屬材料例如鋁合金形成。如圖3所示,主體12包含第一部份14、不具有任何洩放通口的第二部份16、及將第一部份14與第二部份16連接以使得用來配置盤式轉子2的槽溝20被界定在第一 部份14與第二部份16之間的連接部份18。在此實施例中,主體12被建構成使得第一部份14、第二部份16、及連接部份18被形成為單一的單元構件。 As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the disc brake caliper 10 includes a body 12 that is preferably formed of a rigid metallic material such as an aluminum alloy.

The second fluid port 24 is fluidly coupled to the first fluid port 22 by a fluid flow path 26 (Fig. 3). The first fluid port 22 is disposed on the first portion 14. The second fluid port 24 is disposed on the first portion 14. In the illustrated embodiment, the first fluid port 22 acts as an inflow port and the second fluid port 24 acts as an outflow port. A banjo fixing bolt 28 (Fig. 4) is mounted to the first fluid port 22 to attach the splicing pipe joint 30 to the body 12. The splicing pipe joint 30 is coupled to the brake operating device 6 via a hydraulic line 9 . The bleed valve 32 is mounted to the second fluid port 24, which allows the operator to perform maintenance by opening the bleed valve 32 and venting fluid to the exterior of the hydraulic brake system.

現在參考圖3,在主體12被耦接於具有車架1A的自行車1的車架1A的狀態中,第一部份14被配置成比第二部份16較為靠近自行車1的相應的前車輪4A或後車輪4B。盤式制動器卡鉗10還包含連接螺栓34。主體12具有接收孔36,此接收孔36被建構成延伸通過第一部份14、第二部份16、及連接部份18以接收連接螺栓34。連接螺栓34被定位在槽溝20內。連接螺栓34具有沿著連接螺栓34的外周邊的凹入部份34A、及延伸通過連接螺栓34的中心的內部孔34B。如以下會詳細敘述 的,凹入部份34A及內部孔34B界定形成供流體可沿著流動的流體流動路徑26的一部份的槽道。 Referring now to FIG. 3, in a state where the main body 12 is coupled to the frame 1A of the bicycle 1 having the frame 1A, the first portion 14 is disposed closer to the corresponding front wheel of the bicycle 1 than the second portion 16. 4A or rear wheel 4B. The disc brake caliper 10 also includes a connecting bolt 34. The body 12 has a receiving aperture 36 that is configured to extend through the first portion 14, the second portion 16, and the connecting portion 18 to receive the attachment bolts 34.

As detailed below The recessed portion 34A and the inner bore 34B define a channel that forms a portion of the fluid flow path 26 through which the fluid can flow.

盤式制動器卡鉗10還包含可於活塞移動方向DM移動的第一活塞37A、及可於相反的活塞移動方向DM移動的第二活塞37B。當制動操作裝置6被致動時,流體流入盤式制動器卡鉗10內,而此會將第一及第二制動墊片38A及38B從容許盤式轉子2自由旋轉的釋放位置移動至第一及第二制動墊片38A及38B接觸盤式轉子2的制動位置。於制動位置,第一及第二制動墊片38A及38B對盤式轉子2施加制動力。在第一部份14上,第一制動墊片38A被耦接於第一活塞37A。在第二部份16上,第二制動墊片38B被耦接於第二活塞37B。 The disc brake caliper 10 further includes a first piston 37A movable in the piston moving direction DM and a second piston 37B movable in the opposite piston moving direction DM. When the brake operating device 6 is actuated, fluid flows into the disc brake caliper 10, which moves the first and second brake pads 38A and 38B from the release position that allows the disc rotor 2 to freely rotate to the first and The second brake pads 38A and 38B contact the braking position of the disk rotor 2. In the braking position, the first and second brake pads 38A and 38B apply a braking force to the disk rotor 2. On the first portion 14, the first brake pad 38A is coupled to the first piston 37A. On the second portion 16, the second brake pad 38B is coupled to the second piston 37B.

在此實施例中,流體流動路徑26從在第一部份14上的第一流體通口22延伸通過第一部份14、第二部份16、及連接部份18,且至在第一部份14上的第二流體通口24。第一部份14包含第一孔40,此第一孔40被包含於流體流動路徑26,並且第一活塞37A被可移動地配置於此第一孔40內。第一活塞37A在第一部份14上被耦接於第一制動墊片38A。第二部份16包含第二孔42,此第二孔42被包含於流體流動路徑26,並且第二活塞37B被可移動地配置於此第二孔42內。第二活塞37B在第二部份16上被耦接於第二制動墊片38B。在此實施例中,流體流動路徑26依序從第一流體通口22延伸至連接部份18,至第二孔42,至連接部份18,至第一孔40,且 至第二流體通口24。此使流體流動路徑26可開始及結束在主體12面向車架1A的相同側。 In this embodiment, the fluid flow path 26 extends from the first fluid port 22 on the first portion 14 through the first portion 14, the second portion 16, and the connecting portion 18, and to the first The second fluid port 24 on the portion 14. The first portion 14 includes a first aperture 40 that is included in the fluid flow path 26 and the first piston 37A is movably disposed within the first aperture 40. The first piston 37A is coupled to the first brake pad 38A on the first portion 14. The second portion 16 includes a second bore 42 that is included in the fluid flow path 26 and the second piston 37B is movably disposed within the second bore 42. The second piston 37B is coupled to the second brake pad 38B on the second portion 16. In this embodiment, the fluid flow path 26 sequentially extends from the first fluid port 22 to the connecting portion 18, to the second hole 42, to the connecting portion 18, to the first hole 40, and To the second fluid port 24. This allows the fluid flow path 26 to begin and end on the same side of the body 12 that faces the frame 1A.

在此實施例中,流體流動路徑26包含第一通道44,此第一通道44被配置在接收孔36與連接螺栓34之間,以將第一流體通口22與第二孔42連接。更詳細地說,第一通道44被設置在接收孔36的內周邊表面與連接螺栓34的凹入部份34A之間。另外,流體流動路徑26包含第二通道46,此第二通道46形成在連接螺栓34內,以將第二孔42與第一孔40連接。更詳細地說,第二通道46被形成於連接螺栓34的內部孔34B。如此,應可瞭解第一通道44及第二通道46是由連接螺栓34的槽道形成。明確地說,在連接螺栓34上的外部槽道界定第一通道44,而在連接螺栓34內的內部槽道界定第二通道46。第一通道44與第一流體通口22及引至第二孔42的第三通道48連通。第四通道50從第二孔42引至連接螺栓34的第二通道46,而第二通道46又與第一孔40流體連接。流體流動路徑26從第一孔40通至第二流體通口24。應注意在可替代的實施例中,從第一孔40至第二流體通口24的流體流動路徑可於另一方向延伸,如由流體流動路徑52所示者,而於該情況中第二流體通口係相鄰於第一流體通口。 In this embodiment, the fluid flow path 26 includes a first passage 44 that is disposed between the receiving bore 36 and the attachment bolt 34 to connect the first fluid port 22 with the second bore 42.

Additionally, the fluid flow path 26 includes a second passage 46 formed in the attachment bolt 34 to connect the second bore 42 with the first bore 40. In more detail, the second passage 46 is formed in the internal bore 34B of the connecting bolt 34. As such, it should be understood that the first passage 44 and the second passage 46 are formed by the channels of the connecting bolts 34. In particular, the outer channel on the attachment bolt 34 defines a first passage 44 and the inner channel in the attachment bolt 34 defines a second passage 46. The first passage 44 is in communication with the first fluid port 22 and the third passage 48 leading to the second bore 42. The fourth passage 50 leads from the second bore 42 to the second passage 46 of the connecting bolt 34, which in turn is in fluid connection with the first bore 40. Fluid flow path 26 leads from first bore 40 to second fluid passage 24. It should be noted that in an alternative embodiment, the fluid flow path from the first bore 40 to the second fluid port 24 may extend in the other direction, as shown by the fluid flow path 52, and in this case the second The fluid port is adjacent to the first fluid port.

Specifically, in the example In the embodiment, in a state where the main body 12 is coupled to the frame 1A of the bicycle 1, the first direction D1 is the forward direction, and the second direction D2 is the rearward direction. More specifically, the first direction D1 in which the first fluid port 22 faces is forward, and the second direction D2 in which the second fluid port 24 faces is backward and downward. It should be noted that in an alternative embodiment, the second fluid port may be adjacent to the first fluid port and face the same direction as the first fluid port, as illustrated by fluid flow path 52 in FIG.

如以上所討論的,第一流體通口22及第二流體通口24均被有意地配置在第一部份14上,使得第二部份16不具有任何流體入口或出口,包括洩放通口。 As discussed above, the first fluid port 22 and the second fluid port 24 are both intentionally disposed on the first portion 14 such that the second portion 16 does not have any fluid inlets or outlets, including venting mouth.
